VIVA LA MADNESS---Jason Statham and Vinnie Jones star in the Guy Ritchie movie based on the novel whose synopsis says, “Connolly is back with a sequel that sees him on the same stunning form, with his trademark razor-sharp dialogue and quick-fire violence, but also finding dark humor and pathos in the lives of violent men. From the London underworld, Viva la Madness moves to international crime with trans-Atlantic drug deals, money laundering, and high-tech electronic fraud, portrayed with the same uncanny believability. The anonymous hero of Layer Cake is pulled back into the drug game before he can escape to a sunny retirement. In a dazzling combination of London low-life, Caribbean high-life, and Venezuelan drug cartels toting machine-guns in Mayfair, our hero’s voice and mission are authentic, thrilling, and whiplash-inducing in equal shares.”

Therefore, if this will happen, it will not be for next year. But maybe next year we’re going to be here [at the press day], and hopefully we have something more to announce [then]."

SHE-HULK---Tatiana Maslany commented on rumors that she turned an offer to return as She-Hulk to the MCU, “You’ll never know. I don’t know. Do you know?”

TRIVIA---STAR TREK stars William Shatner and Walter Koenig reunited in the COLUMBO episode "Fade in to Murder" where Shatner played Ward Fowler, star of the hit tv series DETECTIVE LUCERNE, who murders a studio executive who was blackmailing him because he was a Korean War deserter. Koenig played LAPD Sgt. Johnson, who briefs Columbo on the murder.
Koenig commented on reuniting with Shatner on COLUMBO, "I didn't work with Bill. Bill was in other scenes. I remember we took a trolley, a little go-cart, together to go to lunch...and he didn't talk to me...because that was the time between the series and the movies, and I don't think he remembered my name."

STAR WARS: ROGUE SQUADRON---writer Matthew Robinson commented on the status of the Patty Jenkins movie, “I had a great time writing it. Patty Jenkins is one of my favorite artists in the world. I think she’s absolutely brilliant. We had a great time working together.
I don’t currently know what Lucasfilm wants to do with it. They’re in a pretty big state of flux at the moment, after Kathleen [Kennedy] leaving, and who knows what the future holds for them theatrically.
It was a great thrill to write that, and especially to work with Patty, who made it a very personal story. It was very much a movie about fighter pilots. Her father was a fighter pilot.
It was very personal to her, and we were trying to tell a really great personal story about fighter pilots and Rogue Squadron pilots in the Star Wars universe. I think we did a great job with it, and I really hope one day we get to see a version of that.”
